No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. William Hartnell

:D:D Funnily enough I bought a Labradorite necklet in Portobello Road when I was in London last Saturday, was given a piece of blue pearlite granite by a friend on Monday and ordered my dark green pearlite worktops this morning. When I get all three examples together, I will post a picture of them. My vote for this fish is the mineral Labradorite, which is not the same as the pearlite granite worktop stuff, (I don't think, anyway! :? )

He does not look quite like the other items displayed but having seem them, I am prepared to concede that he is, carved from rock. The like of which I have not seem before, other than having encountered 'Blue John' in a previous life.

The maker got him just right, apart from the sinous suggestion of movement, in certain lights he is ordinary, of earthy/marine colours. When the light hits there is the most surprisingly intense pale blue lights up, just as fish scales do.

I think he is a carp and I am wondering in which country he came from but that is another quest and a different Board perhaps! Thanks for your help and I know what kind of work benches I want in my kitchen next. Ruth
